Check out some words from SDI's current intern Appolonia Gomez:
Written February 16, 2012:
"My position is the
Sustainable Development Education Assistant. My duty is to assist the
Sustainable Development Education Coordinator in creating a Sustainability Club
at the Menominee High School. I started in June of 2011 and my time in SDI has
been extended into Spring of 2011. I started a week after high school
graduation and was a little nervous. As the weeks went on I became more
comfortable, learned A LOT of new things and met many people. The tasks that
come along with my internship helped me not be as shy and my public speaking
has improved a little. It is a great experience and it was probably the best
decision I made after high school because the internship was something new and
gave me direction. I encourage anyone to apply and take full advantage of the
opportunities in SDI."
Appolonia recently helped teach local students about sustainability at the technology fair on the College of Menominee Nation campus.
In the photo above, Appolonia is hard at work explaining sustainability to a group of middle schoolers. Over a hundred students from Menominee Indian Middle School and High School attended the CMN Technology Fair that was part of the nation-wide Digital Learning Day where students learned how technology is tied to the College and everyday careers.
Sustainable Development Institute's Spheres of Influence: Education, Research, Outreach, Practice, and Indigenous Wisdom SDI is part of College of Menominee Nation (CMN) and exists to conduct research, share ideas, and strengthen the Menominee values and approach to sustainable development. This blog was created to share what is learned, known, and valued of the Menominee approach to sustainability to those who wish to share this knowledge and wisdom.
